Recent Decadal Trend in the North Atlantic Wind Energy Resources
This study presents the climatic trend of the North Atlantic wind energy using cross-calibrated, multiplatform (CCMP) wind data for the period 1988–2011. Results show the following. (1) The North Atlantic WPD exhibited a significant increasing trend of 4.45 (W/m2)/yr over the past 24 years. (2) The...
